Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
"Souleymane's Story" follows Souleymane (Abou Sangare), a recent Guinean immigrant, through the streets of Paris as he prepares for his asylum application interview while working for a meal delivery service on his e-bike. The themes revolve around the exploitation of the 'sans papiers' (without papers) often by fellow Africans - one a fellow immigrant from northern Guinea who lazily coaches asylum applicants to recite false stories of political persecution at their hearings in return for payment, and another who lends Souleymane a food delivery account but then takes half of his earnings every week.
The film largely avoids depictions of racism but equally, there are few acts of kindness in the film.
